Volume 1: Capturing the King's Heart Chapter 024: The Bamboo Forest Appointment
Wei Zhaojun smiled silently, because she was purely blind to like women, and what her father described to her, Lou Xi, the prime minister of Qin, was like this: talented, thoughtful, ruthless, and power-leaning.
In the Eastern Qin State, it was real, a strategist and a powerful minister above ten thousand people under one person.
As for the identity of this Lou Xi in front of her, she really had to doubt it.
"Girl, as the saying goes: rumors cannot be believed, but the relationship is loyal."
When it comes to loyalty, this word, coming out of a man's mouth, is really special, Wei Zhaojun couldn't help it, and sneered, after so many years, she thought, today, is the most interesting day.
"Well, your character, this girl believes." Wei Zhaojun patted Lou Xi's shoulder, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
"I know that the girl can distinguish between right and wrong, and the twists and turns can be compared with ordinary husbands and vulgars." Lou Xi threw a wink at Wei Zhaojun, very happy.
Wei Zhaojun saw Lou Xi's eyes, and he didn't feel numb.
"Of course, but, Childe, you and I will meet in Pingshui, and this kind of emotional joke will not be allowed in the future."
Lou Xi blinked, looking aggrieved: "Okay, the girl said it was a joke, then it's a joke." ”
"So now, are we friends?" Lou Xi held his chin with both hands, and his eyes were full of affection.
"Yes, of course!" Wei Zhaojun nodded slightly, she had a friend who was the prime minister, of course she couldn't ask for it.
Lou Xi's appearance, although it will make people panic, but she knows that this is just one side of Lou Xi, she can ignore it and pretend not to see it.
"That friend, if you are in trouble, shouldn't you help each other?" Lou Xi's expression makes people look at it, and they inevitably feel a little underwhelmed.
"Hmm!" Wei Zhaojun's eyes stared at Lou Xi without blinking, as if they were waiting for his next step.
"Didn't you say that you want the murderers who hurt innocent people to confess their crimes?"
"Yes, but, as the prime minister, can you have that spare time?" Wei Zhaojun glanced at Lou Xi.
Wei Zhaojun knew that Lou Xi was so smart, and he could guess some things if he didn't say them, including her identity as Wei Gao's daughter.
"I'll help you, use here." Lou Xi pointed to his head with a finger, and his voice was crystal clear: "Also, since you are a friend, please call me Lou Xi in the future, or simply call me Xi, Childe, Childe's call, I don't know, I thought you were a servant below." ”
Although Lou Xi was kind enough to remind him, his words would always make people uncomfortable to listen to, just like now, Wei Zhaojun was annoyed by what he said.
"Then don't be a girl, the girl calls me, and those who don't know think you're dead-skinned, chasing me and not letting go of the hooligans." Wei Zhaojun was not to be outdone, and his bright eyes provoked Lou Xi.
"I'm sorry, Zhaojun, I don't have much contact with girls, so I don't know how to say it, so I can call your opinion, Zhaojun, you have a lot of adults, forgive me for my ignorance, okay?"
Wei Zhaojun stared at Lou Xi's face through the moonlight projected through the treetops, the outline was clear, very handsome, and the sincerity in his eyes made her distrustful heart flash a touch of guilt.
It seems that unconsciously, Lou Xi's face has been seen for a long time, and it will make her feel a sense of déjà vu.
"Lou Xi, have we, where have we met?" Wei Zhaojun couldn't hold back for a while and blurted out.
"No, I didn't." Lou Xi seemed to be smiling and spit out two words.
"Oh."
A ray of sunshine in the early morning, warmly poured on Wei Zhaojun's eyebrows, and when she opened her eyes, Wei Zhaojun suddenly found that she had an indigo cloak on her body, she knew that this was Lou Xi, the cloak she wore last night.
Lou Xi, thinking of this, she suddenly found that Lou Xi was gone, and beside her, only Jing Hong was open, with big round eyes, looking at herself kindly.
"Jinghong, you say, how can he be like this, he said that he was a friend last night, and today, he will say goodbye." Wei Zhaojun held the cloak in his hand, and he was inexplicably angry in his heart.
Jinghong seemed to feel the loss in her heart, and gently rubbed Wei Zhaojun's face with the horse's head, as if she was comforting, you and me.
"Do you think I'm not saying goodbye, so I'm angry?" Lou Xi stood far away, the faint sunlight projected between his eyebrows, and there was an indescribable chic charm in his eyes.
Wei Zhaojun wanted to refute two sentences, but when he saw the basket of mountain fruits in Lou Xi's hand, his lonely heart unconsciously appeared a touch of emotion.
"yes, but I'm not angry now." Wei Zhaojun scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"That's good." Lou Xi handed the washed mountain fruit to Wei Zhaojun:
"Originally, I was going to catch a rabbit to replenish your body, but I thought that girls are kinder, and I am afraid that I will not see blood, so I went to pick some mountain fruits. You will go first, wait until you go down the mountain, I will treat you to a good meal? ”
Lou Xi said guilty, but Wei Zhaojun was ashamed to listen to it.
Awkwardly took the mountain fruit, Wei Zhaojun lowered her head and nibbled on the mountain fruit, half a sound, she stared at Lou Xi and smiled: "Thank you, Lou Xi." ”
"You forget, we're friends." Lou Xi hooked the corners of his lips and raised his eyebrows lightly.
"Yes, friend." Wei Zhaojun nodded.
"Whoa!" A loud hiss sound, attracting three eyes.
Wei Zhaojun looked up, only to see a brown BMW, rushing towards Lou Xi at great speed, the BMW knows the way, and can find the whereabouts of the owner by smell.
"What's it called?" Wei Zhaojun's face was full of curiosity, this horse seemed to be more attractive than her shock.
"Qing Ming!" Lou Xi's frivolous face was full of pride, stroking Qing Ming's horse's head, unusually gentle, I didn't know, I thought he was stroking a sweetheart.
"Good horse, good name." Wei Zhaojun praised from the heart.
Since Jing Hong heard the neighing sound of Qing Ming, Ma Zhuzi has never left Qing Ming for a moment, Wei Zhaojun looked at this funny scene, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that Jing Hong is very interested in Qing Ming." ”
"I think they're a good match!" Lou Xi smiled at the corner of his lips, and his eyes were filled with charm.
"Perhaps!" Wei Zhaojun smiled, she really didn't deny this.
"Zhaojun, let's go back to Bian Liang City together." Lou Xi turned over and jumped and rode onto Qing Ming's horse.
"Okay!" Wei Zhaojun was also agile, jumped up, and straddled the back of Jinghong's horse.
At night, the quiet sky suddenly thundered with lightning, followed by a steady drizzle, and the misty humidity stained every corner of Murong Mansion, like a painting of Danqing thick and understated.
Murong Mansion, Liluo Pavilion.
Murong Chen was dressed in a white plain brocade robe, his body sat upright on the chair, holding a cup in his right hand and drinking it all, and there was a thick haze that could not be dissolved in his ink-like eyes.
Tan Ye held a light green oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and walked vigorously in the direction of Liluoting in the rain.
After arriving at the Liluo Pavilion, Tan Ye quickly put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, bowed to Murong Chen, and said, "Your Highness." ”
"You're back." Murong Chen's tone was light, and he couldn't hear the slightest inner emotion.
Tan Ye moved his lips, hesitated, a trace of worry crossed his eyes, and reported to Murong Chen: "Your Highness, Xuanyuan Xi has made an appointment with you, see you in the old place tonight." ”
Murong Chen snorted coldly, put down the cup in his hand, and had a sarcastic smile in his eyes: "He is quite conscious, and he knows that His Highness is looking for him." ”
"Your Highness, my subordinates will go with you." Tan Ye's eyes were full of distrust of Xuanyuan Xi.
"No, this is a grievance between me and Xuanyuan Xi, and it should be resolved by ourselves." Murong Chen looked at Tan Ye, who had always been grinning and straightforward, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, and his eyes were as deep as ink, and finally showed a shallow smile.
"Tan Ye, what you need to do now is to send someone to keep an eye on Qinglan Villa, and notify me as soon as your heart lock comes to your senses."
"Yes." Tan Ye said yes on his lips, but in his heart he was anxious for Murong Chen to die, Xuanyuan Xi's appointment, he was anxious for His Royal Highness; The safety of the county lord, he is anxious for His Highness; But what made him most anxious was that in front of his feelings for the county lord, His Royal Highness blindly retreated and blindly went to fulfill Dongfang Yu.
When Murong Chen arrived at the bamboo forest on the outskirts of the city, the rain was already getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed to be about to wash away and break the oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
The rain dripped down the bamboo leaves, like beads with broken threads.
The corners of Murong Chen's lips were outlined, with an unknown arc, and the pace under his feet did not slow down because of the increase in rain.
With Murong Chen's continuous pace of advancing towards the depths of the bamboo forest, a man dressed in an ink-colored robe and holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, his looming and upright posture was like a perfect masterpiece in the rain, and suddenly appeared in the rice paper picture scroll.
"Murong, I didn't expect your speed to be much faster than I imagined, but it is conceivable that my position in your eyes is quite impatient."
Seeing Murong Chen, getting closer and closer to him, Xuanyuan Xi's paper-thin lips were enchantingly outlined, a charm that could not be washed away by the rain.
"Xuanyuan Xi, you really wear a high hat for yourself." Murong Chen snorted coldly with disdain on his face.
"It's not because of love." Xuanyuan Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling evilly.
"You came to the Eastern Qin Kingdom, what is the purpose, you and I know it well, there is no need to come with me to do this." Murong Chen turned his back, and his disgust for Xuanyuan Xi was written in the depths of his eyes.
"Purpose, this set." Xuanyuan Xi suddenly laughed: "Murong, I don't understand, why do you have to involve everything with conspiracy. ”
"I said because of love, I didn't lie to you, it's just that the original words should be love house and Wu."
When Murong Chen heard Xuanyuan Xi's rare serious words, he turned around, and his eyes were as deep as ink, but they were still sandwiched, and the disgust and contempt that could not be dissolved.
"Xuanyuan Xi, I just wanted to ask you, did you kill Hongmei?"
In Xuanyuan Xi's dark eyes, a trace of surprise appeared: "Murong, why are you interested in the life and death of a woman." ”
Murong Chen glanced at Xuanyuan Xi lightly, and his tone was cold: "Yes, or not?" ”
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Xuanyuan Xi took two steps forward, facing Murong Chen's almost perfect face, and when he got closer, Xuanyuan Xi's mouth unconsciously muttered to himself.
"I don't understand, the two of us also have an almost perfect face, but why, everyone in the world says that you are the most beautiful man in the four countries."
"It's just a title, you can take it whenever you want, but now, I remind you again, don't change the subject."
"I had you killed." Xuanyuan Xi hooked his lips, and this time he answered very simply, in the rain, it seemed that the pearl was broken, and there was a loud sound.
